When Maia Dunphy became a mum to little Tom back in 2015, she had never read a single book on pregnancy or parenting.
Instead, she sought to find her tribe, people like her who didn't want to share 'tips' and 'tricks', rather she wanted to celebrate all that's amazing about being a mother.
Enter, The M Word, a bit of light relief and a safe space for parents to let off a bit of steam and share their funny (and tough) moments.
Now, Maia has put pen to paper and put her own experiences into a book entitled...you guessed it...'The M Word'.
The book looks at everything from pregnancy to one child families and just about everything in between.
She joined Alison in studio this morning for a natter!!
